Top Five Ways To Relax After Midterms

After a stressful week of midterms, the best thing to do is to relax through these five top ways.


1. Grab a facemask and head for the couch

One of the best things to do is to find a face mask that either soothes, moisturizes, or helps get rid of the acne that flared up during exam week. Let it dry on your face for a good thirty minutes as you relax on the couch and watch some TV.

2. Get a massage

After spending two hours each on exams, sitting at a crammed classroom in a tiny desk probably has your shoulders, legs, and other muscles scrunched up and filled with tension. Get a massage to help your muscles release tension, and for you to feel better overall.


3. Exercise

The best thing to do after spending a week of sitting in uncomfortable positions while taking a test is to exercise. Get moving and work out a bit. It's healthy to fit at least thirty minute of exercise a day after a week of none.

4. Get out of the house

Go to the city or take a nice walk around the town or your neighborhood. Breathe in some fresh air and look around at the beautiful sights of nature that you missed out on while taking a bunch of exams last week.


5. Make sure to hang out with your friends

It's good to keep in touch with your friends. Go out to a restaurant, see a movie, go ice skating, or anything that lets you have a good time while communicating with your friends.


At the end of the day, its best to relax after a stress-filled week of midterms. Whether watching Netflix or exercising helps relieve you of stress, remember that this is all for you.

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
